Treatment of hearing loss depends on its type. If it is sensory neural hearing loss then only hearing aids are beneficial. If she is having conductive type of hearing loss then surgery can be done. She needs to undergo detailed audiological evaluation to identify cause
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
